Morphological and Functional Studies on Mitochondria-rich (MR) Cells in the Gill Epithelium of the Tilapia, Oreochromis mossambicus / 吳郭魚鰓表皮MR細胞的形態與功能研究

博士 / 國立臺灣大學 / 動物學系 / 84 / MR細胞(mitochondria-rich cells)為硬骨魚類鰓表皮上進行離子與滲透
壓調節的主要部位。初步實驗手先以掃描式電子顯微鏡觀察發現MR細胞在
廣鹽性吳郭魚(Oreochromis mossambicus)鰓表皮上以三種不同的形態存
在,即突起型(wavy-convex type)﹑淺盤型( shallow-basin type)﹑深
洞型(deep-hole type)。穿透式電子顯微鏡觀察結果證實其細胞質中都具
有MR細胞的特徵﹕大量的粒線體以及密佈的管狀系統。隨後發現在離子濃
度不同的低張環境中,吳郭魚MR細胞的形態與數量均有不同之處,而且同
一尾魚為適應環境,其MR細胞的形態與數量產生可逆性的變化。進一步由
離子添加實驗的結果得知,環境中高濃度的鈣離子會誘發突起型的出現﹔
反之,當鈉或氯離子濃度增加時會導致突起型消失。另一方面,以去離子
水配製的高鈣水和低氯化鈉水也會誘發突起型的出現﹔同時在高鈣或低氯
化鈉水中會導致體內產生缺鈉的現象,因此推論突起型的出現應與鈉﹑氯
離子的吸收有關。鈣離子的吸收實驗則顯示蓄養在人工配製低鈣水的吳郭
魚鰓絲上的MR細胞形態以淺盤型為主,其對鈣離子的吸收率遠高於蓄養在
高鈣水與中鈣水(低氯化鈉水)中的吳郭魚。由於後兩種環境中,主要的MR
細胞形態是突起型,因此,淺盤型的主要生理功用應為鈣離子的吸收。當
環境中的鹽度增加,深洞型數量也隨著增加,配合過去大量的文獻,顯示
其生理功用與氯化鈉的排除有關。免疫轉印法的實驗結果證實,不論在淡
水或海水中,吳郭魚鰓上都有Na,K-ATPase存在,其含量隨環境而改變。
免疫細胞化學實驗則發現Na,K-ATPase在鰓絲表皮上的主要分佈位置都在
Mr細胞中,而且三種形態的MR細胞都有,其含量也各不相同。由此顯示
Na,K-ATPase在淡水或海水中都具有相當重要的功用。經由深入探討MR細
胞的形態與功能間的關係,配合對細胞內運輸離子的動力來源-- Na,K-
ATPase的實驗結果,本研究得以更加瞭解魚類在適應環境的過程中所進行
的滲透壓調節機制。
Mitochondria-rich (MR) cells are considered to be the major
cell type in the gill epithelium for osmoregulation. SEM
studies have shown for the first time that three types of
apical surfaces of the MR cells -- wavy-convex type, shallow-
basin type, and deep-hole type - exhibiting on the gill
filaments of the euryhaline tilapia, Oreochromis mossambicus.
Different types of MR cells with varied densities were found to
exhibited in fish adapted to various media. Following transfer
of the fish, reversible changes of MR cells occurred within 24
hours. To examine the correlation of ions and MR cells, tilapia
were exposed to various media of selected ion contents. Immuno-
cytochemical studies with a monoclonal antibody demonstrated
that the gold particles representing Na,K-ATPase were
distributed along the membrane-formed tubules in MR cells, but
not in other epithelial cells. Taken together, the present
studies of tilapia gill shown the relationship between the
morphologies and functions of MR cells and revealed the
existence of the crucial ion-transporting enzyme, Na, K-ATPAse.
